Gm                  Bb        Cm              Eb
  Like a bird locked  up in a cage called love
Gm                          Bb                 C7 Eb
  He clipped her wings when she was born to fly
        Gm
He said,  "A pretty bird,
Bb              Cm                    Eb
  you can't sing  But I'll buy you dia

monds and ruby rings"  Like a bird locked
            C7 Eb
up in a cage

[Chorus]
                Gm             Bb       Cm
And how can I escape this place  and go higher,
   Eb

           Gm             Bb          Cm
How can I avoid the flames  from your fire,

                   Gm Bb         Cm
So birdie, fly away   Higher, higher

I'm tired of getting lost inside this maze all day
Gm                       Bb                C7 Eb
  Your twisted words are getting to my head
I say,
Gm                 Bb                  Cm                Eb
  "And no more glasses and seein' stars  And no more brui
                     Gm                  Bb
ses and battle scars"  Like a bird locked
            C7 Eb
up in a cage

I'll show you what I'm worth
                C7       Eb
Take back what I  deserve
